October 30, 2013 Zanganeh did not state any further details in this regard. Iran has almost completed the pipeline to the Pakistan border, but Pakistan has made little progress on laying its leg of the long-planned pipeline, largely due to a lack of funds for the costly project and US pressure to drop it. Earlier this week, Pakistani Foreign Ministry Spokesman Aizaz Chaudhry reiterated Islamabad’s resolve to pursue the project. “It (IP) should be seen in the context of acute energy crisis that we have in our country,” said the Pakistani official, adding that his government is pursuing the case to accelerate the implementation process of the project. However, a report released last week by the Islamabad-based Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) says the contract with Iran would bring an economic disaster in Pakistan as the gas sold will likely be several times more expensive than the domestic gas currently used. Early in October, Pakistani Petroleum and Natural Resources Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi asked Iran to finance $2 billion in the construction of Pakistan’s side of the IP gas pipeline project. The Pakistani petroleum minister said preparatory work was complete, but they had asked Iran to provide $2 billion for the construction work. Finance Minister Ishaq Dar asked his Iranian counterpart Ali Tayyebnia at a meeting in Washington this month to “look into the possibility of constructing the Iran-Pakistan pipeline on Pakistani side as well” because international sanctions were preventing Pakistan from raising finances on its own, according to a statement issued by the Pakistan Embassy in Washington. Last month, Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif told the Wall Street Journal that he would proceed with the pipeline plan despite the US objections. India offers export of gas to ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Shahid Khaqan Abbasi Pakistan has said the Indians had offered to export gas to Pakistan but Islamabad had asked them to review their high price, writes Mehtab Haider. The News “There was no idea under consideration to import diesel or any other petroleum product from October 30, 2013 India. An offer was floated some two months back for purchase of re-gasified LNG from Amritsar depot,” the minister said while talking to reporters after addressing in the conference on Indo-Pak Young Entrepreneurs Forum (YEF) organized by ICCI in collaboration with Aman Ki Asha here on Tuesday. The state owned company Gas Authority of India Limited had offered to sell natural gas, imported from Qatar in the shape of LNG. “But its rates were too high and we have asked them to lower the rates. A reply is awaited,” the minister said. “Indian side also offered cooperation in electricity export which might materialize,” the minister said. The minister said that there would be severe shortages of gas in the upcoming winter season and availability of gas except for domestic consumers would be affected. There will be no gas available for CNG users in upcoming winter in Punjab, he made it clear. The import of gas from India, he said, was on the table as offered by Indian companies but their offered prices were on higher side so Islamabad had asked them to review their prices to strike the deal. To another query regarding Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline, he said that India was not part of it but Islamabad was quite serious about it and would move ahead. He said that new governments came into power in both Iran and Pakistan and now he would make a formal request to arrange its financing for materializing IP gas pipeline. Earlier, in his address in the conference, he said that he would move away from stated official position on conflicts between the two countries and would talk here from core of his heart. He said once two governments fully understood the dire need for resolving issue then all issues would be resolved. The issuance of visa is a problem, he said and added that the world was opening up so there was need to establish linkages for promoting trade and business between the two countries. ©2013 www.alhasan.com www.immap.org 2 Selected CNG stations: ISLAMABAD: The Punjab government has approached the federal government seeking Punjab seeks exemption exemption from gas outages for selected compressed natural gas (CNG) stations so they fill passenger buses without any interruption, sources say. from gas holidays The request comes as the federal government considers stopping gas supply to CNG filling The Express Tribune stations for three months in winter, a period when natural gas demand spikes sharply.
